( open ) when we leap over the gaps in our hearts

[dereban]

Who: Himeko Inaba and you, unfortunate soul!
When: 9/21 - 9/23; during the aftermath of the Event 33; feel free to specify a date.
Where: Various locations in Cerealia.
What: Inaba finds out that almost nearly all of the people she's cared about in this world has suddenly disappeared. It doesn't help that she has dreams about them as of late, either.

►►► OPTION A: After we unexpectedly connect, the world will change ( ceres academy )

[ If you're a student at the academy, you've probably encountered Inaba teaching classes. She specifically deals with computer and information technology as well as sexual education. Of course, during classes today, you might notice that she's opted out of actually teaching new material, allowing for a video presentation to do most of the work instead as she sits down and goes on ahead to down some coffee.

She's got a rather sizable mug which is rather unbecoming of her - it's as if she's trying to force herself to stay awake.

Of course, while she's given everyone some study time, she's just going to be idly browsing her own computer, almost bored. ]

►►► OPTION B: you'll see a scene more dazzling than ever ( cosplay cafe )

[ A good thing about the cosplay cafe: she can wear a mask when she's working, and it really does help when she's in a rather cute costume, too. She's working twice as hard as usual, but she doesn't seem to look tired or out of it in the slightest bit. In fact, she seems rather energetic. But it's a false kind of energy.

If you're a customer, the moment you enter is when the iron strikes hot - she's definitely going to be smiling to the brim with excitement. ]

Welcome and how may I help you, today? ♥ Would you like a booth or a table? [ She has to keep up the charade or else she'll break. And she doesn't plan on breaking. ]

►►► OPTION C: What can you see over there? ( hospital )

[ After the whole ruckus with the glitching, Inaba's opted to visit the hospital. Thankfully there's no robots to deal with (at least CERES based ones) and there's honestly something that she's got to do here. She needs to put these priorities first, even if it knows that she's going to hate the procedure.

Hence why she waves someone down, a strained smile on her lips, dark circles around her eyes -- ]

Ah, excuse me? You wouldn't happen to know a surgeon, would you?

►►► OPTION D: wildcard!!

[All Ankh really wants is some food. He barely pays attention as he wanders into the nearest thing that seems to be a restaurant--and immediately regrets it. For one, it's obvious that this is the type of place that's likely to get on his nerves in general half because it's too obnoxiously perky, the other half because it's too much like home.

The rest is the face he's greeted with, masked or not. He recognises her from when they met before, exploring CERES, but he'd hardly say she's someone he knows. More importantly, while that act might fool most people, he can sense well enough what's underneath it. The same epidemic of longing and homesickness that seems to be affecting the entire population.

For a moment, he just looks at her, takes in the fake smile and the atmosphere of the place. He doesn't need this.]

Neither.

[Nevermind. He'll find somewhere else to eat.]

Then why the hell did you come in the first place, huh?!

[ The mask is definitely coming off as she curls her fingers into a tight fists. While she's definitely upset and longing to see someone she cares about, the yearning to go home is mixed. It's not that she doesn't want to go home, no. She just doesn't have the same longing for it that a good majority of people have. ]
